Summary:

– ICT reviews the morning market: the CPI print was weaker than expected and price ran up but failed to reach a key lower quadrant/opening-range level. They’re watching opening-range gap, fair value gaps, and sell-side liquidity levels—preferring short bias and looking for the CPI low and other lows to be taken out before committing further.
– There is decoupling/divergence between the three averages (ES, NQ, Dow), which reduces trading reliability and makes the session messy; the speaker is unwilling to chase longs on that basis, especially on a Friday.
– They describe their own intraday activity: accumulated positions into an inversion, suffered slippage exiting around 325, and lost interest in further morning trades unless price decisively trades through key levels. They may re-engage at lunch or in the PM session if structure clarifies.
– The speaker rebuts the idea that liquidity sweeps don’t exist, pointing to intraday sweeps they observed.
– Personal incident: someone on X threatened them earlier; then this morning a driver aggressively confronted them in traffic and pointed a gun. ICT drove away, may check the Highlander dashcam and file a brandishing report with police if evidence exists, and warns others to avoid escalating confrontations.
– Closing: the session is called early due to unclear price action; the speaker will post a review later and host a weekend discussion, and wishes viewers a safe weekend.
